This report evaluates the operation of the Houston freeway transitway system through calendar year 1989. As of the end of 1989, transitways were in operation on the following four Houston freeways: Katy Freeway (I-10); North Freeway (I-54); Northwest Freeway (US 290); and Gulf Freeway (I-45). Prior to 1988, individual research reports had been prepared on an annual basis for both the Katy and North Freeway transitways, which were the only transitways operating at that time. Beginning in 1988, an annual report has been prepared summarizing operations on all of the transitways. This research report provides an analysis of trend data related to: (1 operation of the transitway; 2) operation of the freeway mainlanes; 3) combined transitway and freeway data; and 4) data relating to transit usage and operations. Both a "before" and "after" trend line analyses and a comparison to control freeways not having transitways are used as a means of evaluating the effectiveness of the transitway facilities. As of the end of 1989, 36.6 miles of barrier-separated transitway were in operation. On a daily basis, nearly 45,000 person trips were served on the transitways; approximately 45% of those trips were served in buses, with the remaining 55% being served in carpools and vanpools.
